How to… Corn Husk Pumpkins

Sharing is caring!

Of course I wasn’t going to leave you hanging with the how to of making my corn husk pumpkins!

On my first round of making these I created something that resembled a corn husk garlic…

 

not what I was going for!

{Step 1}

Soak your corn husks in some warm water for about 2 minutes.  Remove and let them dry on a towel for about 15 minutes, blotting the extra moisture off.  If your corn husks are really wide you might want to tear them in half.

{Step 2}

With your trusty glue gun you want to glue 4 husk pieces into an “t” shape.  You are doing this right after the 15 minutes of drying…. you want them to be a little damp so they are still pliable.

{Step 3}

Then glue down 4 more on the diagonal. 

{Step 4}

Next… the secret to getting that pumpkin shape… a balloon.

My garlic shape up top didn’t have a balloon inside.

Now you need to test your balloon size by pulling up a few pieces of the husks to make sure that you have enough space to gather the tips of the husks at the top and tie it off with your twine.

I pulled up the corn husk pieces starting with the finally piece I glued down and working my way back down to the first piece I glued.  So working top to bottom.

{Step 5}

Tie off the top with some twine and wait for the corn husks to dry completely.  I would wait at least 6 hours or overnight to be safe.

{Step 6}

Once the husks are completely dry you can pop the balloon.

Then you have your cute corn husk pumpkins!

I’m sharing my tute at the WONDERFUL parties in my PARTIES menu bar!

    Visiting via the Weekend Wrap Up. This is a wonderful idea. When I saw the photo, I had no idea it was a husk covered balloon, ingenious!

A creamy lightly lemon flavored cookie base with a strawberry topped center... finished with a little drizzle... because a drizzle makes everything better.

The only problem is that these don't survive long...everyone will devour them quickly, if they are like my family.

This simple spring decor idea is great for a mantel or a centerpiece. Green and blue mason jars just scream spring and summer to me... add some pretty flowers and a chalkboard "Spring" banner and you're set!
